They say polar bears are the only animals with no fear of humans. I suppose in their evolution as a species they did not foresee the future damage man would do to their environment. They are now at danger of disappearing as a victim of global warming. As the sea ice is melting around them they are drowning in a search for food.
Some scientists are predicting that the Arctic Ocean could become ice-free in the summer within the next hundred years.
The question that everyone is trying to answer and are arguing over - is the global warming we are witnessing in the Artic natural and part of the cycle of the earth over history or has human interference created it or escalated it?
If there is a possibility we are doing this to our own planet- we need to take heed as we see the top of the food chain in the Arctic drowning in front of us.
